Chapter 3367: Chapter 1681: It’s better to worship Godhood yourself than to ask others; by questioning your own compassionate heart, you align with the Path.
The Lord Cang Sheng was silenced!
Though he provided an answer, his response no longer carried its previous decisiveness; instead, it was laden with a sense of helplessness and weight.
This kind of “evasion” inherently lacked true compassion for all living beings.
He avoided the essence of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man problem but raised another root cause of the “wrong.”
Who started it all?
Across the regions, all the spectators still watching were now brimming with curiosity at its peak.
“Who?”
The voice of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man turned incomparably cold: “Who is the one who started it all?”
For this question, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man already knew the answer.
But his answer was pointless, and Xu Xiaoshou’s answer was equally futile.
They were like decomposed worms buried beneath black soil, destined never to see the light of day. The Holy Divine Palace’s decree that the words of dark factions are not to be trusted ensured their voices would never be accepted by the masses.
Because they were the true representatives of justice!
Xu Xiaoshou had already shouted countless times, roared countless times, but what was the attitude of the world?
Shock, astonishment, oblivion, indifference…
Irrelevant matters were left hanging high.
And so, they passed.
But it cannot just pass!
Those who couldn’t even manage to raise their voices, if no one spoke for them, they truly would be soaked in the container of darkness for all eternity.
Since you said, “It’s not wrong to be born human,” then why are some children born wrong, living their lives only to be chosen by the night?
“Answer me, Ai Cangsheng!”
“Who is the one who started it all?”
The Five Decays of Heaven and Man knew that his appearance was an accident.
But isn’t the existence of an accident precisely to create miracles?
There were answers to some questions he couldn’t conveniently reveal, so he could only seek Ai Cangsheng in this moment, to let those standing in the light speak it.
Ai Cangsheng looked at him.
Then at the Dao Imparting Mirror.
Finally, he looked toward the far-off heavens above the Five Regions and shook his head slightly:
“You cannot remember.”
The Five Decays of Heaven and Man immediately ignited like a fuse, devilish energy and ghostly energy erupted all over him, and he screamed:
“So you can remember!”
“So you know it all!”
“You know it, yet you refuse to speak. Moreover, you refuse to resist, assisting the tiger in its tyranny, pretending to be neutral while standing before this foul tiger, willingly acting as its shield and serving as a watchdog for those factions.”
“Is this the justice you uphold, your Great Path, the lifelong principle you’ve adhered to?”
Under the blazing gaze and expectation of the Five Regions, what they received was a gentle shake of Ai Cangsheng’s head.
He closed his lips and remained silent, seemingly acknowleding everything, regardless of the degree of verbal abuse thrown his way.
The Five Decays of Heaven and Man was utterly enraged by his attitude of ignoring everything and roared:
“Ai Cangsheng, what are you doing!”
The question appeared remarkably simple, allowing Ai Cangsheng to choose his answer:
“Guarding the Path.”
Guarding the Path?
That’s nonsense!
Standing at the gate, grandly declaring “Guarding the Path”?
The Five Decays of Heaven and Man’s gaze turned thunderstruck, as if seeing a familiar person suddenly become utterly foreign. He muttered helplessly:
“Guarding the Path? Ignorance may be forgivable, but knowing and refusing to act cannot be…”
Ai Cangsheng narrowed his eyes and calmly replied:
“I cannot.”
“But you’re not someone powerless!” The Five Decays of Heaven and Man burst into emotion again, “You are the Lord of All Living Beings, one of the Ten High Nobles. If even you cannot act, must I act? Can I act?”
“You cannot either.”
“Cha-cha-cha…” The Five Decays of Heaven and Man seemed to have been enraged to the point of laughter, letting out piercing, eerie laughter: “If neither of us can act, then at least act as I did, as he did!”
He pointed beside him, toward Xu Xiaoshou standing far off in the darkness yet still striving for the light, toward the rebel:
“At least act as they do, even if temporarily hunched over—stand upright!”
“Rather than as you do, even while sitting, you kneel!”
Seated in his wheelchair, Ai Cangsheng, still elevated and aloof, had his expression turn entirely indifferent and detached, unwilling to speak further:
“This is your Path. I have no authority to interfere and will not interfere.”
He said no more.
Yet all within the Five Regions heard the underlying meaning in Ai Cangsheng’s words: Similarly, you need not interfere with me.
How could the Five Decays of Heaven and Man not understand Ai Cangsheng’s message?
He lowered his head, then his upper body collapsed entirely as if broken, his forehead pressed against his knees, his hands weakly drooping onto the ground.
The mountainous terrain was shattered.
His withered fingers slipped from his robe sleeves, fumbling aimlessly amidst the sand and stones.
But all he could find in the swirling dust was pieces of his shattered self, nothing more.
“At least don’t crumble, even if only to say a few words…”
“At least don’t crumble, even if just to do something…”
“At the very least…”
The Five Decays of Heaven and Man’s mania-like muttering abruptly ceased. With a sharp motion, his upper body whipped upright, and beneath his mask, his eyes widened to the brink of explosion as he bellowed:
“At the very least, kill me, Ai Cangsheng!”
This cry carried Holy Power, reverberating outward. It struck the ears of the unprepared spectators before the Five Domains Preaching Mirror, leaving their eardrums swollen to near rupture, their faces wrought with intense pain.
Seeking death?
The Five Decays of Heaven and Man was genuinely seeking death?
The Dao Imparting Mirror zoomed in for a personal close-up of him. The Five Decays of Heaven and Man fiercely suppressed all his power.
Including the devilish energy rampaging from cultivation deviation…
Including the ghostly energy surging uncontrollably…
Including the Aura of the God of Death, the Power of Decay, the Engulfing Power…
He even offered his soul blood, formed hand seals, not externally focused, and employed some sealing technique aimed at himself, seemingly to suppress “immortality!”
—He was genuinely seeking death!
Ai Cangsheng’s Eyes of the Great Path saw everything clearly. The Evil Sin Bow on his thigh lightly trembled, as if about to draw.
At last, he merely shook his head slightly and said nonchalantly:
“I will not kill you. Leave.”
…
The Five Domains erupted in urgency!
This was a perfect opportunity!
The Five Decays of Heaven and Man had clearly reached the ultimate phase of cultivation deviation, placing even his own life and death on the line.
